In ...Anonymous - that Amway mythology makes sense.<br /><br />In Amway the upline all imagined themselves as royalty or big rock stars. Both those scenarios come with money, adoration, status, fame and being applauded and worshipped. As you pointed out, very seductive to those dumb ass Amway Ambots who live in a world of make believe.<br /><br />Especially appealing to broke Amway losers to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous.<br /><br />Same with walk the beaches of the world - the canned bullshit Amspeak heard at every Amway meeting. That is visually appealing - walking white sand beaches with deck chairs, umbrellas and cabanas and staff running around serving up cocktails. And of course all of this is funded by the bazillions of dollars in residual income rolling in every month from Amway.<br /><br />Photos or pages ripped from magazines or printed online were plastered all over the house when you visited the fucking assholes in the Amway upline. Forget being limited to bulletin boards and the fridge. Every spare spot on every wall in the house was full of photos those greedy Amway bastards covet.<br /><br />Amway mythology - influential and lasting. That sounds about right.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-17680930068680881962017-05-18T15:07:14.867-07:002017-05-18T15:07:14.867-07:00Amway, like all cults, has a mythology that is par...Amway, like all cults, has a mythology that is part and parcel of their worship and rituals. This mythology is effective because it has a strong visual component.<br /><br />Take the &quot;Smash your alarm clock!&quot; nonsense. It presents a strong visual image of you with a hammer in your hand, destroying a hated object. Everyone can see it, and everyone can sympathize with it.<br /><br />Take the bullshit about &quot;Walking the beaches of the world.&quot; That&#39;s pure mythology too, but it is visually appealing. Who hasn&#39;t dreamt on occasion of taking a nice leisurely stroll along a beautiful beach?<br /><br />Then there&#39;s the ritual of becoming some kind of big pin, and being publicly honored at an Amway function. You and your wife in your best clothes, walking up to a stage, being applauded by everyone, and getting &quot;edified&quot; by some asshole Diamond -- what a visually seductive scene that is!<br /><br />Note also that your up-line will urge you to put photos of all the things you dream about having on your refrigerator door or your bulletin board, so that you can see them every day and be reminded of why you are slaving for Amway. That too is purely visual.<br /><br />Why do the fat-cat Diamonds show up at all the functions? Sure, they want a cut of the money. But they also go because it is essential that they BE SEEN by the IBOs, who expect to be dazzled by the presence of their great heroes. It&#39;s all part of the mythology.<br /><br />All mythology is visual, primarily. This is why mythology is so influential and lasting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
